Live reviews The Waterboys I've been a Waterboys-Mike Scott fan for a very long time and I've seen them in concert at least 5 or 6 times over the decades starting with A Pagan Place back in Read more Report as inappropriate.

I saw the Beatles when I was thirteen in Baltimore, Maryland, the stones in Virginia on their Steel wheels tour, but the Waterboys in Philly were out of this world! I was making harps in Beauley, Scotland in and could not get enough of that song More power to you lads. Love you, Cait Gilles Read more Report as inappropriate.

The sessions featured Sharon's accordion and fiddle, Donal Lunny and Eoin O'Neill on bouzouki, Mike on bodhran and many other great musicians playing together in a relaxed but wild atmosphere - and all captured in beautiful sound.

The recording weren't released at the time because Sharon joined the Waterboys and toured for a year. By then her music had changed. The "Winkles Tapes" remained in a dusty box for 30 years until six months ago Mike went through them and assembled an album of the best performances.

It was an incredible scene to witness and be a small part of, and I'm happy to help bring it to you now". Mike himself features, playing bodhran on the track Bonnie Kate. The album is available to buy, download or stream here and below is Mike's longer description of the sessions, extracted from his book Adventures Of A Waterboy. The Waterboys had released Fisherman's Blues six months before.

Our soundman, John Dunford, was working with her and invited Wickham and I to her first recording session in the village of Kinvara, a funky hamlet on the west coast of Ireland. At the front end a circle of musicians was gathered, led by the twenty-year-old Sharon, who hurtled through set after set of exquisitely played tunes, notes scattering from her fingers like machine gun fire, an impossibly fast but exquisitely articulated stream of music.

The topline accompanists - whistlers, fiddlers, flute players - revolved as well, each taking their turn to partner Sharon. Sharon's younger sister, Mary, a freckled, banjo-playing sprite, was there too, and when Sharon switched to fiddle, the two led the ensemble in a series of rattling, shattering reels that seemed never to end, each tune leaping higher then the last in a music as wild and promethean as any rock and roll.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us on what was our 11th North American tour. We played to great audiences and were thrilled to make music for you. Aongus' brother, our great friend and colleague Gavin died of cancer on September 22nd. Both Aongus and Paul were able to get home to be with their brothers before they died, and we're grateful for that.

Logistics and great tour management by Keith Anderson made both possible. I'd also like to thank our show crew - Production Managers Neil and Stu, lighting man Donal, onstage sound cat Doug, stageside tech Aaron and our fab merchandising lady Annie.

What a pleasure to roam the new world with them all. Thanks also to our great management Gold Village, who oversaw everything with their usual care and dedication. You can read some show reviews from various cities by visiting the links below:.

Then the club founder, Mr Jess Yamanaka, arrived with great charisma. I could feel the true spirit of rock and roll radiating from them.
